Everyone swore they wouldn't leak any information.
Ethan didn't press the issue. He knew it was only a matter of time before someone talked. But even if others killed the final boss with their own strategy, they'd only earn a four-star clear.
What came next, wouldn't require the whole team.
Just him and Lyla.
"You guys take this path," Ethan instructed, gesturing toward the left route. "Clear everything on the way to the boss and wait for us there."
Skyblade nodded and led the team forward.
Ethan, meanwhile, turned to Lyla and motioned for her to follow him down the right path.
Everyone knew this side was empty. No enemies, no loot, just a dead-end cliff. Nobody understood why Ethan was heading that way.
When they reached the edge of the path, Ethan pulled out the Grappling Launcher he had purchased from the Engineering Store and handed it to Lyla.
"Watch where I aim. Follow me up," he instructed.
